Getting Data In

Universal Forwarder Deployment

Good morning,

i'm new to Splunk and have a question regarding universal forwarder deployment. I installed the UF on a windows machine, in order to configure it via the deploment server do i have to copy the SplunkForwarder folder from /opt/splunk/etc/apps to /opt/splunk/etc$ cd deployment-apps/ ?
And what files I have to configured to make the client send data to my indexer?

thanks in advanced
Alex
